@davetileguy you wanted a 6 minute vid where you would see boring gliding the whole time and then the actual jet footage at the end?

whoa cool!

@hanggliderrider Apparently the same pilot crashed that same jet 2 weeks later killing himself and 3 others onboard. Somewhere on the web is a thread w/ the details.

I would love to see a pedal powered propellor on a hang glider.

the pilot knew the HG was there and was effin' with him. No doubt.

@MrCorvairboy That would actually help a lot. UNICOM does something similar to that but in a more detailed fashion, stating to location, and what they are doing. Therefore, reducing the amount of midair crashes from useful information passed off by pilots.

where is the rest of the video?
